Cleaning stainless chimney with brush and flex rod

[Taxmantoo]

Well, we got the chimney up on dad's new garage last weekend.
6" insulated stainless, with a cleanout plug pointing straight down about 20" above the ground.

Now we need to do some planning on how to clean the thing.

Poly brush or steel?

Which flexible rod? Where's a cheap place to buy it?
I don't think the fiberglass rods that dad has now are flexible enough to go between the ground and the pipe. Need about 14-15' IIRC.

Poly brush and rope , put some weight on the brush and pull it up an down a few times , then you are done , plus you can store it all in a 5 gallon bucket

I'd rather do it from the ground, especially in the winter.
